Hey people,

Ok was selling my car until a couple days ago i put the car in reverse to get out of the drive way then took off and what a suprise 3,4th and reverse is gone.

I was going to buy a second hand gearbox but i would rather rebuild my own because i know where its been. Ive heard alot of stories where people buy boxes and there just about to go anyway.

So i wanna rebuild the box and i might aswell do the clutch while its all out.

Can anyone tell me whats the best clutch for a gts-t with 300rwkw? Something that will be durable, The car will be street driven but only once a week so not really botheres on a hardcore clutch which will increase the cars performance in anyway possible?

Also if anyone can direct me towards someone who specialises in the rb25det box rebuild? I dont want to just give the box to someone who doesnt really give a shit about it.

Thanks :D

Did the gears blow on you or you just couldn't select/engage them in the first place? It's unusual for three gears to go at once unless you've destroyed the cluster. Try to steer from second hand if you can...you have the right idea...it's very lucky dip, particularly from wreckers who won't warranty the things (can you blame them?).

Either a Jim Berry or an Exedy cushion button IMO.

I actually called this place on botany and the bloke also told me it could be the cluster.

What confuses me now is that i started the car today and it was going into gear fine? (weird). You can tell theres a problem but it was fine.

Compared to the other day ( It was popping out of third, and wouldnt even select 4th then when i would put it in reverse it was like the gear stick was stuck in there and wouldnt come out.)

Either way if im going to have to take the cluster out. I would rather get the box checked and clutch replace. Or am i just on another planet and dont know what the hell im talking bout?

Thanks for your help guys

Hmmm tough call, you have an odd set of symptoms there. Wouldn't know what's wrong with it until you pull the box apart I'm afraid. What kind of noises is it making if any? Grinds, whines, rumbles, crunches?

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
